Constructions of "difference" (from
the dominant group), work to rationalize and maintain injustices and
differential power accorded to them based on their status as
"inferior".

Anti-racism works to dismantle the
ideologies, policies and practices which keep structural oppressions
in place. This requires an analysis of how power and privilege is
maintained within institutions such as government, the justice system,
and education.

Racism, sexism, classism,
homophobia and other "isms" work to justify an unequal relationship.
They justify the unequal distribution of power and access to resources
such as land, food, and water. They also justify differential
treatment in our institutions such as government, the economy, the
justice system, and education.
